Strangely, if I wait long enough (a few minutes) I see "timeout, proceeding in
background" or something like that. Then the bootsplash appears, but without
text. The boot proceeds, but graphical elements only, no text. Finally, near
the end of the boot, it truly hangs, without gdm having shown up yet, and the
hard drive goes to sleep.

The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the
issue if it is still present. Since it has been thirty days or
more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming
the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.
Setting status to "CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested,
please feel free to reopen the bug report.
Thank you in advance.
